Retreat
The man was waiting for his friend to make move and but it turned only a wait.
His friend was convulsing and trying to stand up, the damage done with this slash needed a thorough check to make sure that some of his acmes pair was doing fine or it was hurt with this sudden slash.
Zhi Chang nodded because he was also worried for the sneak attack, in presence of more than one enemy it was highly likely that the other side would resort to such means.
The man was annoyed now to see that his friend was useless, he increased the force behind his dominion, he was above legend level, he don't fear from mere Legend.
Now Zhi Chang could feel the advantage of being at the level higher, he was facing difficulty, his opponent was two levels stronger and if he could not use his techniques accurately to break his strength then the battle would turn one sided wining.
